New Romance in Marriage Chapter 499 Rejecting Quirk Enterprise
Mocking his own wife? Pfft! What a jerk. Perhaps one of the worst guys on the face of the Earth.Paige glanced at Chris, handing him the glass of water. "I'm going to bed."Chris chuckled. "Sleep tight."After a tiring day full of events, it was indeed time for bed.…The next day, Bob called Paige.She felt annoyed, knowing exactly why Bob was calling.While she did not want to pick up, ignoring Bob meant he would persist and might even show up at the Jewells'.So, reluctantly, Paige answered. "Hello...""Paige, are you busy?" Bob asked gently."Not particularly. What's up?" Paige replied."Paige, if you're free, can you come home? Dad has something to talk to you about," Bob requested.Paige casually said, "Just say it over the phone. I'm pregnant. It’s not convenient for me to move around with a big belly."Bob hesitated.Just yesterday, Paige attended Sierra's wedding. Today, she claimed it was inconvenient to move. Bob knew Paige was blaming him, unwilling to com
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 500 Paige Toughens Up
Bob was at a loss for words.Paige had made her point clear with that long string of words.She was uninterested in what the Quirks had to offer and would not take anything from the Quirks."Paige, no matter what, this is a little gesture from me to you. I know I’ve neglected you in the past, but I genuinely want to make it up to you now. Won't you give me even a chance?" Bob asked, his heart aching.Paige replied, "No need. You haven't wronged me."After all, it did not matter anymore."Paige..."Bob was not ready to give up.Paige suddenly felt irritated. Bob was going too far, doing things so excessively. Did he think she was oblivious, trying to deceive her like she was a fool?She had not spelled it out, hoping to save Bob a shred of dignity. However, now, it seemed utterly unnecessary.Someone like Bob was not worth preserving any dignity for."Do you really want me to spell it out? You want to give me Quirk Enterprise shares now, just to use me to get Chris to help Qu

Paige blinked and said, "Can I do the same to you?"Chris shook his head. "It might not work for me.""Why not?" Paige asked, puzzled. "Didn't you just say that from now on, no matter who it is, I should be tough? Doesn't that include you?"Chris asked Paige, "What gives you the confidence to stand up to others, to Bob, for example?"Paige hesitated.Her confidence, of course."My confidence comes from the strength within me," Paige replied.Chris smirked. "No, your confidence comes from me. It’s because I'm there to support you. No matter what you do, I'll clean up after you, support you, and help you. That's why you're so confident."Paige frowned. "That's not true."Chris continued, "When you can confront others, I can support you. However, if you confront me, I can't help you fight against myself. I'm not that foolish.""I told you. My confidence comes from the strength within me!" Paige insisted.In the past, she cared too much, which was why she did not break ties with
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 502 Moving Him with True Emotions
"Is this not over yet?" Paige asked in confusion.She had already apologized and repented as he asked, but he still seemed unsatisfied. What more did he want?Chris shook his head. "Nope."Paige sighed. "What do you want then?"Chris looked at Paige seriously. "I closed off my heart for you and sealed it with love. Can't you use your sincerity and dedication to move me? Melt me?"Paige blinked. "Move you? Melt you?""Yeah." Chris nodded seriously. "Use your true heart, genuine emotions, and sincerity to move me, melt me, and open my heart again.""Oh..."Chris raised an eyebrow. Did she get it now?"So, what should I do?" Paige asked.She might have understood the concept but had no idea how to execute it.Chris raised an eyebrow again. "Do I have to teach you?"Paige hesitated. "Uh... No, it's okay."She had thought about saying she needed Chris's guidance, but he did not seem willing to teach her."Good." Chris nodded. A hint of anticipation was in his eyes. He wondered
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 503 Niel Goes Back to Work
Bob was not so foolish as to not know why Linda and he were together. It was all about the wealth of Quirk Enterprise. He bet that if he truly hit rock bottom, Linda would be the first to leave. However, he did not care. His interest in Linda was not genuine love. It was merely because she was attractive and proactive. Also, luck had it that she was carrying his child—a son. So, they got married. Otherwise, Linda would be a hidden lover, cast aside heartlessly in her old age.Between him and Linda, there was no love, just a mutual exchange of needs. That was why he could let Linda seduce Chris. If he genuinely loved a woman, he could not bear to see her do such things.Linda looked at Bob in silence. She was not inclined to endure hardships with him. Young and beautiful, she had plenty of suitors. The reason she chose Bob, the older man, was his wealth. She was with him for a life of prosperity."Honey..." Linda, with teary eyes, said sadly, "I'm willing to endure hardship
New Romance in Marriage Chapter 504 I'm Afraid He Might Misunderstand
“Honestly, with your qualifications, you could easily get a different job. I always thought it was a waste for you to be a receptionist,” Jenny stated.Ava remained silent.So, Jenny smiled and continued, "With your education and skills, I'd have chosen a different job long ago. You could find something that pays much better than a receptionist's salary."Ava sighed. "I used to think that way, too. However, there are just too many international students now. Being a foreign student doesn't hold much value anymore. I consider myself lucky to have this job. You know, we spend millions studying abroad, only to end up with an ordinary job that pays a few thousand. The competition is fierce, and I'm content with what I have."Jenny nodded. "True, the competition is intense nowadays. However, Ava, you saw how Supervisor Jewell treated you just now. I'm afraid you might become the cannon fodder between Mr. Jewell and Supervisor Jewell."Ava looked puzzled. "Cannon fodder?""Yeah." Jenny

"Chef Willy has taught many apprentices over the years, but none of them can replicate his taste exactly," Chris remarked.Then, he chuckled. "If you can recreate Chef Willy's taste exactly, well, those five-star hotels might end up in a fierce competition to have you as their chef."Paige thought it sounded like an exaggeration. She stared at Chris. Although his expressions and tone seemed normal, Paige felt like he was mocking her.He should know she did not make the dessert.Chef Willy had been with the Jewells for years. Chris, who had been enjoying Chef Willy's desserts for many years, could surely tell if Chef Willy made it."Yeah." Paige nodded. "That is why you should cherish me. If I go out there in the world, many men will be fighting for me."Chris looked at Paige with a half-smile but remained silent.From the looks of Chris’s smile, she had a feeling that he had seen through everything."A couple of compliments and you’re bragging already?

Chris chuckled. "Really?"Paige's face turned slightly red. She felt embarrassed saying that, and it felt like Chris did not believe her. However, she bit the bullet and nodded. "Yeah, really."Chris smiled and said, "Well then, when you miss me next time, don't just think about it because thinking won't do you any good. When you miss me or care about me, just send me a message or call to check in. After all, I can’t read minds. Also, if you want to hug me, just hug me. Don't hold Hunter in your arms and say you want to hug me. That's just hypocritical."Paige faltered. Hug him when she wanted to hug him? Thanks, but she did not want to hug him. She could easily pick up Hunter, but could she lift Chris so easily? She was not that strong, to begin with."Remember. From now on, when you think of me, send me a message. Ask me if I've eaten, what I've eaten, if I'm tired from work, what I'm doing, or tell me what you're thinking about. Don't keep it all to yourself," Chris said wit

"What did I say that implies otherwise? You're a strange one. You're right here in front of me. Why would I need to admire the photos?"Chris grinned. "So you don't want to admire the photos, but you want to admire me, a living person."Paige blushed slightly, feeling embarrassed. She did not mean that, but what she just said seemed to imply exactly that."How would you want to admire me?" Chris teased.Admire was such an intriguing word.Paige blushed harder. "How else can I admire you? Just by looking,

Even if there were some constraints preventing them from openly helping him, they could still assist him discreetly. After all, he was their son, who shared the same blood with them. His parents could not possibly abandon him entirely and let him fend for himself. By lowering himself in front of his parents, he believed they would not neglect him. By then, acquiring the five million dollars would not be too difficult.Shelly watched Pierre, not pressing him to respond. She believed Pierre knew what choice to make.

Even if she offered her sincerity, Chris would not appreciate it, so what else could she offer? "Is money the only thing you have? Do you have nothing else besides money?"

Besides money, what else did she have? What else could she have?Chris looked her up and down, speechless. Paige might not have understood what he meant before, but she did now.
